Swag Supply Clothing has caught the attention of many over a 12 month span.
Swag Supply was founded in Portland, Oregon in 2012. Swag Supply was created to provide SneakerHeads, car enthusiasts, and the street subculture industry with something fresh and new. Today we supply clothing, but in the future plan to supply products in other areas as well. Swag Supply stands behind and supports SneakerHeads and car enthusiasts.

What company are you with? And what is your title.
Swag Supply, Founder.
What kind of products does Swag Supply specialize in?
Urban Streetwear.
How did Swag Supply get into this business?
Swag Supply started because I felt like many Streetwear brand where not paying enough attention
to detail and quality and I wanted to create a brand that stood behind
these two principles.
When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An Astronaut.
As a clothing brand where does Swag Supply get inspiration for designs?, What kind of thought process goes into your collection?
The inspiration for our designs comes from what we like and what we
think is something no one else has done. When we design a collection
we want our fans to enjoy the pieces we create as much as we do. With
that in mind we always try and create fun designs that our fans will
enjoy.
How does Swag Supply feel about “Brand Jacking” where a brand mimics the designs of another brand?
I feel that “Brand Jacking” is something that is going to happen no
matter where you look in fashion but at the end of the day being
unique, and different, and still putting out a good product should
always be the goal.
How did you come up with the name for your ‘Swag Supply’? What does it mean or stand for?
The word SWAG in our brand name was meant to stand for clothing or
items. In essence it was suppose to mean that our fans where getting
supplied with unique clothing. To many though the word SWAG means many
other things.

We use Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter. By far though
Instagram is hands down the most important exposure for our brand.
What is one style from the past that you wish was still popular?
Popular old fashion trends are slowly on the come up, but it’s hard
to say.
What is a current trend that you cannot stand?
Leather Pants
Snapback or Fitteds? Low tops or High Tops? Why?
Snapback. I prefer Snapbacks because Fitted have never fit me well
personally.
High Tops. Personally more appealing and comfortable.
What are your thoughts on todays street wear scene?
I think that there are a lot of brands trying to compete now a days
in the street wear scene which is a good and bad thing. I think
overall though that the scene has gotten better.
What do you see for the future of this industry?
The future in this industry will be a whole lot more competitive
considering the impact that social media has in this industry.
What is one of the best things about being in this industry?
You are able to see the creativity of so many other brands that are
doing things to correct way right now. You are also able to
collaborate with many other talented people.
What is one of the worst things about this industry?
Once you hit it big, At Swag Supply, we feel like bigger companies forget they once
were a small company that struggled to come up. Companies in this
industry don’t give you more than what you pay for.
